Jessie's Glove
I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores.      21    the topics we discuss is the retention (保持)of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale (薪水標(biāo)準(zhǔn))in the service industry. During these discussions, I asked the participants, "What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" Some time back a new   22    took the question and     23      said, "It was a $19 baseball glove."
Cynthia told the group that she    24    took a Circle K clerk job as an interim (過渡時期)position   25      she looked for something   26     .On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that    27     a single mother, money was very    28    , and her first check would    29    go for paying   30    . Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check..
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that    31    as an office. Cynthia    32    if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.
Patricia handed her a box. "I overheard you talking to your son   33    ," she said, "and I know that it is hard to   34     things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how    35    he is, even though you have to pay bills    36    you can buy gloves. You know we can't pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we    37   care, and I want you to know you are important to    38  ."
The thoughtfulness, sympathy and    39  of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer  40     than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.

Thinking of starting to play tennis? Tennis is a great sport that requires mental preparation and physical agility(敏捷). The first part of being able to play the game properly is understanding the rules, and in this article, we’ll be discussing what are commonly agreed upon as the official rules of tennis. The rules of tennis are quite simple even though the game itself is complex.
Tennis should be played on a court that is built according to certain requirements. The court should be 78 feet long. For a singles match, the court should be 27 feet in width, and for doubles matches, the court’s width should be 36 feet. The net’s height should be 3 and a half feet. Service lines should be placed 21 feet each side of the net.
Opponent stand on opposite sides of the court. The player who delivers the ball to start the point is called the server. The player who stands opposite and cross-court from the server is the receiver. The right to serve, receive, choose your side, or give the opponent these choices is decided by a toss(投擲) of a coin. Once the choice of the sever or receiver is done, the first player chooses which side to start.
Tennis is a special game; it has special names given to the various points awarded. A score of zero is called out by saying “Love”, and from there, the points go to 15, 30 and 40. If both players get a score of 40, the game must become a tie-breaker, and a 40-40 score is announced by saying “Deuce”. In a “Deuce” situation, if a player gets a point, he is said to have “Advantage”. If a player with an “Advantage” gets another point, the game is over. If a player gets a point while the other has “Advantage”, the score is reset to “Deuce”.

Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
It's logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there're always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a team. For example, some supermarkets can buy office stuff to people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the check out into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company's shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets which automatically only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in that industry can seriously plan to be the best.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 8 WORDS.)

One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning.

A
Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.
What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t.
Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam (堵塞) if the operator typed too fast.
These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.
I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes are smooth and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.
Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.
41. In author’s opinion, if a person in deep water doesn’t know how to swim, he will drown because ______.
A. he is afraid of water.                          B. he hasn’t learnt to swim before.
C. he believes he will drown.                         D. he don’t want to live in the world.
42. The author thinks that the letters organized in a particular order on your keyboard in order to ________.
A. save more space                           B. satisfy the operator
C. increase one’s typing speed                  D. reduce one’s typing speed
43. The author’s experiment shows that ________.
A. snakes can be caught easily                 B. snakes are dry and clean
C. snakes are smooth and poisonous                    D. snakes in India aren’t poisonous
44. The main idea of this passage should be that ________.
A. beliefs are very powerful.                            B. beliefs make us seem stupid
C. changing your beliefs now is necessary           D. people should always believe in themselves.

A
Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course," she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Morn was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped(纏繞) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted(猛沖) upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend(超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary(遺傳的). I prayed to be a balloon.
56. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother ______.
A. felt it hard to answer                       B. thought her a creative girl
C. believed it easy to do so                    D. found it easy to lie
57. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she ______.
A. jumped with joy                           B. became excited
C. started writing immediately            D. was worried that it couldn't be delivered
58. In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?
A. An incurable disease.                     B. An unforgettable memory.
C. The hard time her father had.                 D. The failures her father experienced.
59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The strong red balloon                     B. An unforgettable experience
C. Fly to paradise                          D . A great father
